In Search of The Little Black Book

In Search of The Little Black Book

Life had beaten me down; I was marred from the journey as I traveled from one place to another trying to find refuge wondering through valleys beaten by the sun piercing my skin leaving a thirst that couldn't be quenched by anything even the fresh water from the brook. Climbing mountains that were rigged and snowcapped, my feet and my hands bitten by the frost. Yet I continued in search of this little black book someone told me about, I was determined to find it. I was told that if if found this book and read it and followed the instructions that my life would be changed and that I would be restored back in to the kingdom. You see, I am the daughter of a king and before there there were any valleys, before, there were any mountains, before there were any hills and brooks, I dwelled in this kingdom, it was paradise, I was there with my father and somehow, I wondered off and got lost. I have been searching for this book for years now because I was told that it would restore me. I was told that this little black book had secret passages and corridors and every corridor lead to a greater dimension. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book, I was driven by a deep desire and an overwhelming anticipation. Regardless of the struggle, regardless of what I had to go through or how hard the journey was or how long it would take I was determined to find that little black book, I would be forever lost without it. I don't know how I wondered so far away from home, I miss the fellowship with my father and all of the host of servants. I miss talking to him and the peaceful times that we shared. I missed how we would walk through the kingdom hand in hand and how he would calm all of my fears and dry up all of my tears. I remember the times that I would be troubles and just talking to him would make all of my troubles go away.

Since I've been lost the road has been rugged and the journey has been long. This is why I must find that little black book it is my road map and my directions back to the kingdom. Can you imagine someone that has been accustom to fine living and didn't have a need or want for anything? Now my life consist of looking for food wherever and whenever I can find it. Taking shelter in caves under trees and abandoned villages anywhere I could find a place to lay my head. The nights are cold and and lonely and the days are long and hard, but I refuse to stop, I have total confidence in the person that told me about the book I hung on every word that was said, she is a very wise woman, she also told me that the journey wouldn't be easy and that I would encounter all sorts of obstacles but that I should never give up, I would find it, so I traveled on. It is well past winter now I can tell by the feel in the air that spring will be here soon, Spring always renews me and gives me a fresh start. I remembered coming upon this village, everyone that lived there was so happy and very friendly, they could tell that I had come from afar. This one family took me in and invited me to eat with them. I was able to clean up and they gave me fresh clothing which was very much appreciated. We talked for hours and I told them who I was and I told them about my quest for this little black book. They encouraged me to stay with them for a few days and I did but I noticed something very strange about this village and the people that lived there. they all had a shine and an indescribable glow on their faces and there was such a peace about them I enjoyed their presence, it felt so good, it reminded me of the days with my father in his kingdom.

They had a spare room in their home and it was perfect truth be told it reminded me a lot of my room back home. After a good meal and getting all cleaned up it was such a relief to finally lay my head down on a nice soft clean bed, I instantly fell asleep. That night I had the most pleasant dream, I dreamed that I was back home, I could feel the loving arms of my father everyone was so glad that I made it back safely, my father threw a party and there was music. The music was so realistic that it woke me up and when I was awakened right there in the bed with me was the little black book. With excitement I jumped up and ran into the next room to tell the family that I found the book or should I say it found me. But to my surprise no one was there. I ran to the front door crying and yelling and the entire village was empty. I sat down in amazement and realized that this was no ordinary village and those people were no ordinary people, they were angels since to lead me to the little black book. This is why we should never give up on our quest. I opened the book and the words were written in gold and they began to tell me that I wasn't lost as I thought but the road and the journey I was on was predestined. The words in the little black book also told me that my father had been watching over me all the time and that it was needful that I had traveled through hardship so I could have compassion and perseverance and longsuffering because not only would I be restored back into the kingdom but that I had come of age to become queen. As I turned the pages in the book there was an envelope with a golden seal and when I broke the seal there was 20 brand new one-thousand-dollar bills. There were also instructions, I was to leave at day break and travel north and I would come upon a widow and I was to give the widow the envelope and walk away. Well, I followed the instructions and I saw a woman shad had 2 small kids with her and they were very much in need I walked up to her and greeted her and handed her the envelope and walked away. As I began to walk away, I felt my body tingle all over, I stopped and closed my eyes and opened them back up and lo and behold I stood at the door of my father's castle. It was like a dream everyone was so happy that I had made it back, it was like they were waiting for me. My father had a robe for me, he helped me put it on and took me by the hand and had me to sit down and then he place a crown upon my head. I was restored back to the kingdom but not just as a daughter but a queen. I will never forget my journey all because I refused to quit looking for this little black book.
